| How magnetic is EN56 and the like |
| (1/1) |
| Will_D:
I am building Harold advanced grinding resty and want to use his magnetc bases update. As its all stainless steel i would like to use one of the magnetic steels like EN56 (aka 416). [can get magnetic stainless notice boards in A2 or A3 sizes for reasonable money] Would I get a similar holding force as if I just used mild steel? Cheers Will, Dubland.ie |
| WeldingRod:
Will, 416 is just as magnetic as carbon steel. The 300 series is the stuff that varies from. Non- magnetic to slightly magnetic (if it's cold worked). Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk |
